| Rumours of romance between the 57-year-old former Beatle
Paul McCartney and brave blonde model Heather, 32, who lost part of one leg in
a traffic accident, have simmered for some months. They met a year ago, at a
charity event when he played guitar and sang backing vocals on Voice, the
single she recorded in aid of limbless war victims. Paul, it’s said,
donated £150,000 to her trust for those who had lost limbs in Bosnia.
Later, they saw in the millennium together, and recently holidayed in the Turks
and Caicos Islands, sunbathing and strolling on the sands. Now, Sir Paul has
expressed deeper feelings than those of friendship between two committed
charity campaigners. “She’s a very impressive woman, incredibly
committed and determined,” he says. “I admire her greatly. We are an
item.” Now that the secret is out, he has stressed that the relationship
is still very new and that they hope to develop it away from prying eyes.
“What we want most of all for the moment is a private life,” says Sir
Paul. “It’s very early days for us and it’s a wait-and-see
situation.” |

Unlike Linda, Sir
Paul’s first wife,
Heather has had a rags-to-riches career.
When her mother left home, she cared for
Fiona and their brother Shane, on £1 a week,
sometimes resorting to shoplifting. |
